v10.7 [Feb 16, 2012]
New features:
- New XBee/ZigBee driver: A new XBee/ZigBee driver and standard sample programs are provided. See Samples\XBee\ReadMe.txt and the latest version of "Dynamic C - An Introduction To ZigBee" for more information.
- MiniCore RCM6600W and RCM6650W support: The MiniCore RCM6600W family supports both WiFi (on-core) and Ethernet (off-core) network interfaces. The MiniCore RCM6600W has a 1 MB serial boot flash while the RCM6650W has a 4MB serial boot flash. Using the API from sflash.lib, on the RCM6650W up to 3MB is available for data storage. See sample programs in Samples\RCM6600W.
- Custom definition of ORG_PLACE_USERDATA_IN_RAMx allows an application to relocate the optional user data memory org into a specified RAM device.
Bug fixes:
Library Bugs
- Defect #34603. DMA functionality in SERLINK.LIB is updated to
support Rabbit 5000 and 6000 CPUs.
- Defect #37681. TAT11R and TAT12R internal register addresses
are now conditionally defined in SYSIODEFS.LIB for Rabbit 6000
CPUs.
- Defect #38379. DMA functionality in RS232.LIB is updated to
support Rabbit 5000 and 6000 CPUs.
- Defect #38777. When uC/OS-II is used, SERLINK.LIB's ISR now
prevents task switching while interrupt processing continues
with reenabled interrupts.
- Defect #39302. In modbus_master.lib, custom _initMBMpacket()
functionality is restored for TCP-only Modbus master boards. A
library function stub is now provided, along with function help.
- Defect #39461. In DMAETH100.LIB's internal *._havelink()
function, errant restart of autonegotiation is prevented when
autonegotiation is disabled.
- Defect #39750. All memory orgs located in a battery-backable
SRAM are now properly identified in memory_layout.lib as being
BB, with regard to both xalloc usage and in the program's MAP
file. In particular, the RCM6750/60's battery-backable external
SRAM's memory org is now marked as BB.
- Defect #39751. On RCM56xxW boards, the FAT file system buffers
have been fixed to the top of the battery-backable RAM org.
This prevents other BB memory orgs, such as the optional user
data org, from changing the location of the FAT buffers.
- Defect #40496. In UCOS2.LIB, a number of global variables were
declared inside a module header, causing data storage
generation at "#use ucos2.lib" library scan time.
- Defect #41149. The informational error_message() and
_error_message() functions in errors.lib have been fixed to
prevent a potential hang problem when an error number is
specified for which no error message exists.
- Defect #41653. The ROOT_SIZE_4K macro value must be unsigned,
else values greater than 7 will cause a signed (negative)
memory org size problem. The check in StdBios.c now enforces
unsigned ROOT_SIZE_4K values greater than 7.
Other changes:
- Dynamic C's original XBee support libraries (xbee_api.lib, etc.)
and samples are obsolete and are removed from the Dynamic C
10.70 release. Users are encouraged to port legacy XBee
applications to the new XBee/ZigBee driver, however, where
porting is not practical the application should remain on
Dynamic C 10.66 or prior version.
- The DMAETH100_AUTO_NEG_TIMEOUT macro is deprecated. Rabbit 5000
or 6000 built-in Ethernet applications which use a custom
definition for this macro should instead define one or both of
the DMAETH100_LINKFAIL_TIMEOUT or DMAETH100_LINKDOWN_TIMEOUT
macros. The *LINKFAIL* macro value determines the PHY powered-
up time out for link-failed detection. The *LINKDOWN* macro
value determines the PHY powered-down idle time-out for no-
connect Ethernet current reduction. The default value for each
of the *LINK* macros is 4000 milliseconds, which results in a
50% powered-up vs. powered-down duty cycle when e.g. Ethernet
is not connected.
